Iphone 5 no longer connects to my PC after last update OS8.1

Firstly I am not a "tech" expert and really do not understand the whole lingo etc - in fact I find it VERY overwhelming whenever I have an issue that needs to be solved with all the massive volume of technical jargon thrown around and end up being totally lost and frustrated - so if there is anyone who can help that will be just wonderful.
I have an I-phone 5 and a Toshiba PC which runs Windows 7 - easy so far.
I use my phone for a small business (otherwise I wouldn't have one at all) and when I go to do quotes I take photos and then downloaded them to my PC for future reference (I have ALWAYS been able to do this by simply plugging my phone into a free USB port (always use the same one for all devices) and away we go all works great.
HOWEVER, since the last 2 updates my Iphone will no longer connect to my PC. After the first one was botched (the one that was recalled quickly) and OS8.1 (which I know have) - whenever I do this exact same procedure my Iphone does no longer appear.
How do I make it work again - the simple, easy, straightforward way that it used to (I guess that since the Apple thing has now been "improved" and made "better and easier" for me it will be impossible to do?

Hello there philp_69,
If I understand correctly it sounds like your phone hasnt been recognized in iTunes on your PC since the last couple of updates. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article which will walk you through the steps one by one.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Printer No Longer Connects to Base Station after Airport Update

I recently installed the Airport Update and ever since my printer is no being seen by the Base Station. Before the update everything was working perfectly, now nothing. I've tried every possible solution I can think of with no luck. My printer is an Epson SP2200 and I'm trying to connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The firmware is almost certainly the problem.
I have had this exact problem, had a samsung clp-300 working fine on an airport extreme for months, then the whole thing went pair shaped after a firmware update
Go to the link with instructions
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1641516&tstart=0
I have solved my issue with airport and printer loss of recognition. Open Airport Utility and install Firmware 7.2.1 over the top of 7.3.2. Firmware versions are in a simple drop down list. Steps are: 1) Open the 5.3.2 version of Airport Utility 2) Select the Airport Extreme icon in the picture list on the left 3) Click Manual Set-Up button at the bottom 4) Menu "Base Station" -> "Upload Firmware"
5) Select Firmware 7.2.1 from the dropdown list.
I tried this and it worked a treat. The problem is now resolved. I am using 10.5.4 on my iMac, but using 10.4 on a couple of macbooks as well. They are all functioning fine after I got rid of the update

IPhone no longer shows up in iPhoto after iTunes update

I took some photos with my iPhone 3G today. iPhoto launched when I attached the iPhone (USB) but it no longer appears in the sidebar and so I cannot download the photos. It worked perfectly 3 days ago. The only system change is that I updated iTunes and iMovie yesterday. There is a possibility that iTunes has disrupted things. The iPhone appears in the iTunes sidebar

Michael
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Why can't itunes connect with my nas after last update

There seems to be a problem with smb nas servers after yesterdays mountain lion update as I can no longer get iTunes to accerss it. I can mount the nas on the desktop and access all files from it but itunes and finder fails to connect.
anyone got any suggestion?

It didn't work for me either.
My Apple store don't know the answer and have suggested that I connect to a computer and do a full reset and install iOS6 again.
Not too sure how to do that yet.

Camera connection kit stopped working after last update

After the recent update to ios 8.1.3 my Apple Camera connection kit has ceased to work, any one got any ideas why and a possible solution?

Is this a genuine Apple-made CCK or a third party one?
Some third party CCKs are not compatible with iOS 8.

TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

If a lost or stolen iPod touch is reset by the finder, will I still receive notifications through Find My iPhone if it connects to Wi-Fi after the reset?

If a lost or stolen iPod touch is reset by the finder, will I still receive notifications through Find My iPhone if it connects to Wi-Fi after the reset?

If the device is completely reset and restored to defult settings, then it will not notify you because all the account informmation will have been removed. (Which is probably a good thing too)

Computer freezes when attempting to open ITunes. Have also searched for the sync services file but is not located under reveal in folder or go to options.
Apologies I am not the best tech savy person and have read other posts trying to solve the problem. Other posts asked for the following reports.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - we are an apple household and this is effecting everything!

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ????

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ???? AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router. Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro. Does this sound right?

If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
Good luck.

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

This does not work in my case.
Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

My ipod touch is frozen on the connect to itune screen after an update

My ipod touch is frozen on the connect to itune screen after an update. What do I do to solve the problem. The power on-off button does not permit me to reboot the system.

The BOLD may be necessary
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

iPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

Hi! It seems you found a bug on iOS 7.1
To disable Voice dials try this, (I saw in an iPhone website here in Brazil):
1. Turn on Siri (settings > General > Siri)
2. go to (Settings >Passcode > Voice Dial) trust me, it appears now
3. disable Voice Dial
4. go back and disable Siri
hope this could help you!!

Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.

No autofill after last update

My Ipod no longer appears in the list when plugged into my computer. As a result the autofill button is gone and I cant update songs to my 1st generation Ipod shuffle. This came about after last update. It's as if the system doesn't recognize my Ipod although I continue to get the message that the Ipod is syncing and the system signals me when the syncing is complete.
My main concern is how do I go about autofilling now?

I said to click on the button NEXT TO (to the right of) the Settings button, which should say "On This iPod" in the current version of iTunes. The Settings screen is what iTunes is currently showing so clicking on Settings again will not change the screen.
In previous version of iTunes, you also clicked on the "tab" next to Settings to get a listing of the shuffle's contents, and the Autofill button. It was just called something else instead of On This iPod (I think it was "Contents"). So the procedure itself has not changed in the current version of iTunes.
I have a 1st gen shuffle, and that's how it works...
